Lauren Pope returns to TOWIE for explosive finale… and she has her eye on Dan Edgar!

Former The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Pope will be making a comeback to the show for the series finale next Wednesday (May 3).

Lauren joined the cast on the ITVBe reality series back in 2010 and stuck with the show for an impressive 16 series over five years. Now, the famous DJ will be making a comeback for TOWIE‘s series 20 finale and she admitted she can’t wait to be reunited with all of her co-stars.

“I’m very excited about to be back,” said Lauren.

“I’ve been away from Essex for the past year and focusing on business, but now going back into it I’m sure I’ll naturally speak to them more and more.”

And there is one cast member she seemed particularly excited to see again…

She confessed:”You can’t deny that Dan Edgar is still stunningly beautiful.

“We had a little fling, if you can call it that, but it fizzled out when I moved away from Essex. We left it on really good terms. He’s nice and chilled out.”

Watch out Amber Turner! You could have some competition coming your way.

Lauren did not doubt that her return would spark some drama in Essex: “I feel like it follows me whether I want it or not.

“The people that I had the drama with last time round aren’t there now so hopefully I’ll find it more enjoyable which is why I’m more excited to go back. It’s a fresh, clean slate and that old drama won’t be dragged up again.”

She added: “I’ve missed the banter with people like Diags and Chloe. I’m going back in friendly with Chloe, which I haven’t had for a long time, which is why I’m not dreading it.

“Not being friends with her really affected me in terms of my happy memories. All of my happy memories on TOWIE were moments shared with her.”

Referring to her past feuds with Gemma Collins, Lauren said: “It’s been two years so hopefully she’s no longer holding a grudge. We’ll either laugh when we see each other, or it will be awkward. Who knows? It will be interesting to see her reaction.”
